to the agriculturists in his forthcom.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-There is a
constant discussion Of political If.

form the favOrite topic. The verdict

n grcat change in the tone of con-

during the past two or three months
and those who have come back since
adjournment, after talking with their
people, practically arc unanimous in
the opinion that Mr.. Cleveland is the
strongest man of his day, with the
people. Among those who say this
now are men who were loud in their
opposition to tho Administration n

gone too far to retract, are conspicu-

regarded as no more than unsuccess.
iul ofiicc-hrokers, whose opinions are
never sought by intcrvicwers, and
whose advice or favor is not sought
even by politicians of their own
class.
During the past two years there has
be engoing on an elevation of the
tone of the public service which is
conspicuous to all who have noticed
things in the past. Elk Secretary

'In conversation with a Treasury
official MIR. Bristow spoke in terms of
the highest praise of President Cleve.

said he could observe an improved
tone in the public service, the result
of Mr.. Clcveland's upright and just
methods" This is just n sample OF
what is said by nearly everybody who
has looked into affairs here. This is
what the political grumblers have
had to contend with, and their voices
have grown fainter at every repetition
ofthcir complaints.
In talking with the Democratic
Congressman who have been here from
time to time since the adjournment of

who was here day or two since. was
forced to confess that things are look.

to President Cleveland's policy say
that there is no man who can beat
him in convention; that the talk of
Gov. Hill MS n candidate is mere wind.
Representatives who have had time
to talk with their people. since the
adjournment, are particularly firm in
their conviction of the popularity of

was telling me the other day that he
thought the popularity Mr. Cleveland
had gained through his attitude on

KANSAS.

Correspondence Of In. New York Express.
Il will say in the fewest words of my
command that each trip settles more fully
in my mind that the state of Kansas is but
partially known to the people Of the Older
states. Again, to become fully known
would cause such rush to the state as was
never known in any country. The health
giving qualities of this climate, its long
summers and its delightful fall and
spring are unsurpassed. Few men
are aware that one man can do more
work on farm during the year towards
bringing forth products of the soil in Kan
sas than two can in any of the eastern or
northern states. 1t needs no argument
to demonstrate this problem, for here it is
crowded into five months under the most
favorable circumstances in which to SOW,
NOW and harvest, admitting of no lounging
or wasting of time, either. 1t is work,
early and late, and then winter and snow
and much work undOne, Winter comes to
stay until the warm May sun drives it
away; while in Kansas the time of prOduc-
ing is from March to October, and for
gathering from June to the following
March. To secure an abundant crop the
winter season offers but slight resistance
to this important part of husbandry Then,
again, the roads in Kansas are nearly all
alike the season through. At any time
after the gathering during fall and winter
the marketing can be done with no
more inconvenience than in midsummer.
Thus one man in Kansas has ten months
favorable weather to mature and aecure his
crops, and two months. January and Feb
rusry. to be idle and visit his friends and
recuperate and be ready for spring work.
This is no fancy picture. They are facts
well known to many in Kansas who have
felt the force of what | say"

The Quincy Herald of Sunday morning

one of their big firms selling out at cost.
the firm as announced, having determined
To remove 10 Wichita. This breaks the
I'D burg all up and the Herald contains
lis choice bit of. literature to offset the
ivertisement:
A Quincy citizen thus relates his expert
ence " ith a Wichita boom: Il was out
there looking around for work, but found
none, although heard great deal about
the prosperity of the city. The third day ]
made I'D INV mind to skip out for home and
about that time was approached by real
estate agent, who suggested that l invest in
an elegant lot only nine miles from the bus
iness center of the city and dirt cheap at
the price-a thousand dollars. l told him
had less than dollar in my pocket and
intended 10 start home at once and regard
cd myself rs fortunate in having return

l showed il TO him. "All right this will

ticket down and give your note for the bal
ance. Your deed will be ready tomorrow.
Blu, how will get home. l asked. why
man, he replied, Wichita is your home
now, you have just bought an elegant
property" He broke NE all up and l
signed the note and promised 10
call for the deed. After he had
left me concluded I had better start
for home before got hungry. and put

ceptance of the offer. and when l get my

The interviewed writes us on the margin
of the ;.sp.r that he will be in Wichita in
side of month.
The next clipping is from the Quincy
Review. and reads:

New York Sun.
The municipal elections which are to bt
held ia Kansas next month will be Of
more than usual interest. because for the
first time women will he allowed to vote al
them.
So far the indications are that only a
small minority of the women entitled to
vote will exercise that privilege. The time
for registration Is near its close, and yet,
despite the concerted efforts of women suf.
fragists and of prohibitiouists, less than
600 women have registered in Leavenworth
out of q total population which was
nearly 1900 in 1880 and 500 in Topeka,
a town which is ut present OF about the
same population. Upto the 18th of this
month only about fifty women had regis
tered in Atchison, whose population was
more than IL. 600 in 1880. and yet there
the woman suffragists have been particu-
larly urgent in their appeals to their sisters
to come forward to exercise their new
privilege.
In Junction City and in Dodge City.
smaller towns, more interest in the eiec-
,ions is displayed by the women entitled to
to vote, and vet in the first place, out OF
400 registered voters on March 8. only
sixty four were WOincu " ooo niCo' ouI ~
is hoped that by the time OF the close
of registration something like one
third of the qualified women
voters will be down on the lists. The re-
port from Dodge City is more favorable as
respects the proportionate number of wo-
men who will possibly vote. and dispatch
from Concordia expresses the opinion that
the women will vote as generally as the
men, but the outlook at Larned is that the
female vote will play no important part in
the spring election.
We observe that the strongest desire to
vote is exhibited by the colored women.
Out of $50 women registered in Leaven-
worth up to March Is. IS were colored and
of the 500 registered in Topeka, a great
many are described as colored. The Ger
man women are said to be 1.-THE slowest Of
them all' in manifesting any interest in the
subject. and four-tifihs of all the registered
women are spoken of rs among the less re
fined Of their sex.
1t is manifest, therefore, that in Kansas.
as in the older states, the great mass OF
women are Indifferent to the suffrage, and
that the higher their intelligence and cult
walton the more averse they are to going to
